I don't understand how the Crown Princess Victoria doesn't have a new dress but her sister does. I somehow feel her Father is still annoyed that she is going to be Queen over her brother and somehow limits her access to new gowns and work wear.

Maybe it is Victoria herself. Perhaps she just isn't into the dress-up aspect as much as her Mother and her sister.

My guess is, that this is simply Victoria´s little "look, how modest, I am" show. Doing it via recycling is the easy way out. Because it´s easily noticeable. But IMO a good dress doesn´t cost the world. One vacation in a luxury hotel less and you can get two

Perhaps Victoria is not wearing a new dress because she has had a number of formal engagement during the year and have worn new dresses to several of them. I highly doubt the guests at the Nobel festivities scan royal websites to see what the Queen and Princesses have worn to other functions so they can discuss whether the dresses are new or recycled. The dress is most likely very beautiful when seen live.

Madeleine, looked wonderful, just like I knew she would. They dress, the tiara and the necklace were perfect.
Dissapointed with Silvia's dress but so glad she wore the sapphires.
Victoria looked nice but I just wish she had worn a new dress. Her jewels were gorgeous though!
CP looked as handsome as ever! Love him.

Wow! I just saw the images on Nobel and I have to say Victoria and Madeleine look wonderful! I love Madeleine's dark blue dress (my favorite. Silvia reminded me of an accordion! I didn't like her dress at all.

Queen Silvia is hold hand princess Lilian like more grand old lady. Princess Lilian is more mother to Queen Silvia and grandmother to royal children. Princess Lilian is grand old lady to royal family of Sweden.Princess Madeleine is beautifiul blue dress!!!!

Madeleine looked wonderful - beautiful dress and necklace were perfect for her. I'm pretty dissapointed with Silvia's dress, however, the tiara was gorgeous. Victoria looked nice but I did not like her hairdo. Carl Philip looked very handsome.

Victoria was beautiful too. Madeleine's dress, new or not, it was nice but it didn't really thrill me.

Now a few words. I didn't see the Prize Award live, so I missed princess Lilian, who was banned from the banquet. And I only got a glimpse of princess Christina. Old or not, doesn't the Nobel committee understand that these princesses BELONG in the setup !!!
